Project Summary

A GRAHAM-led consortium, with Miller Homes, Panacea Property Development and Places for People as the other three member organisations, is undertaking the role of pre-development partner for the City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) to deliver a multi-million-pound regeneration housing development at Meadowbank. The partnership, known as Edinburgh Meadowbank Group (EDMB), was formally approved by the Council’s Finance and Resources Committee (March 2022) to create one of the capital’s “greenest neighbourhoods” by incorporating low-car, lowcarbon infrastructure with energy efficient homes. It is anticipated that the pre-development phase will last approximately 42 weeks.

The detail

The site has several unique features, including a number of historical archaeological interests, and is bounded by railway lines at the north and south boundaries. We have been tasked to review the execution of all aspects of enabling, demolition and other infrastructure works and advise on the most efficient strategy of undertaking these works, while considering their implications for the remainder of the development.

In addition, the masterplan has a “people priority” focus - meaning a low car community and high quality routes for “walking and wheeling” is envisaged. Our design solution will seek to prioritise pedestrian and cycle movement through the new neighbourhood and establish intelligent connections to the wider neighbourhood and core path network.
